Heeros Mobile Apps

Don’t you love the end of month, when you have to report all the purchases and travels? The wore-down receipts and the incomplete logs of your car trips… Neither do we.

That’s why Heeros wanted to remove this burden for all their clients and we were more than happy to help.

With Heeros we created native mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone, with which Heeros’ clients can report travel expenses on the go.

Financial workflow on mobile

It’s not only about photographing receipts and logging your car trips automatically.

It’s also about getting your money quicker, since supervisors or employers can also approve your travel expenses with their mobile app, getting the process forward immediately.

The Heeros Mobile app is connected directly to the Heeros financial software system, removing all the manual work that was related to reporting and approving travel expenses in the end of the month.

Under the hood

We didn’t want to make sacrifices on the platform coverage, usability or performance, so we created native mobile apps for all three platforms. This way we could better control the GPS tracking and camera that were playing a big part in the app functionality.

The biggest challenge was to optimize battery usage in car trip logging, which was using GPS tracking on the background. Also the reliability of the tracking was of utmost importance. With extensive testing and continuous improvements we found a solid solution for each platform.

The app connects to the Heeros back-end system with a REST-API. Building the API required close cooperation with Heeros’ back-end development team and Codemate’s mobile team.

We are currently doing OS version upgrades and new languages for the Heeros Mobile app.
